The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent official letters to the Security Council, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, in response to Israel’s threats to attack Iraq.
The ministry stressed in its letters that the Israeli entity’s letter to the Security Council represents part of a systematic policy to create allegations and pretexts with the aim of expanding the scope of the conflict in the region. The ministry stressed the need to take the necessary measures to stop the Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, and to oblige the Israeli entity to stop the ongoing violence in the region and to stop issuing threats.
She explained that Iraq was keen to exercise self-restraint regarding the use of its airspace to target a neighboring country, stressing the importance of the international community’s intervention to stop these aggressive behaviors, which constitute a flagrant violation of the principles of international law.
